ITEM 1 - 2009 Astronaut Glove Challenge Competition held on Nov. 19 - kSC (REPLAY)

The 2009 Astronaut Glove Challenge, part of NASA’s Centennial Challenges Program, 
was conducted at the Astronaut Hall of Fame facility near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., 
on Nov. 19.  The nationwide competition focused on developing improved pressure 
suit gloves for astronauts to use while working in space.  During the challenge, 
inventors tested the gloves to measure dexterity and strength during operation 
in a glove box which simulates the vacuum of space.  Centennial Challenges 
is NASA’s program of technology prizes for the citizen-inventor.  The winning 
prize for the Glove Challenge is $250,000 provided by the Centennial Challenges Program.

ITEM 2 - NASA KENNEDY REAPS BENEFITS FROM SOLAR POWER FARM – KSC (REPLAY)

The electricity that’s being used at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., now is partly 
supplied by the space agency’s first large-scale solar power generation facility. 
NASA, Florida Power & Light Company and SunPower Corporation executives formally 
commissioned a one-megawatt facility on Nov. 19 and used the occasion to announce 
plans to pursue a new research, development and demonstration project at Kennedy 
to advance America’s use of renewable energy.

The facility is the first element of a major renewable energy project currently 
under construction at Kennedy. The solar farm covers five acres and generates the 
equivalent of enough electricity to power about 110 homes. A larger, 10-megawatt 
solar power facility, which now is being built on a nearby Kennedy property, will 
supply power to Florida Power & Light’s customers when it’s completed in April 2010.

At Thursday’s commissioning ceremony, Kennedy Center Director Bob Cabana and FPL 
Vice President and Chief Development Officer Eric Silagy announced plans to 
establish a permanent renewable energy research and development center at Kennedy 
along with a new solar facility that would expand the 10-megawatt generating 
capability up to 100-megawatts.

ITEM 3 - NASA CAMERA THAT SAVED HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE ARRIVES AT SMITHSONIAN – JPL (REPLAY)

After logging more than 15 years in space aboard NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, 
the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 became the latest artifact to join the 
National Air and Space Museum in Washington. The instrument became known as 
"The Camera That Saved Hubble" because it provided the optical fix to an improperly 
shaped primary mirror, allowing the space telescope to go on and achieve its ambitious 
and dramatic goals of imaging the cosmos in visible light. Hubble's most prolific 
camera is currently on display in the National Air and Space Museum's Space Hall.
